Hero's Journey (Monomyth): Fish out of Water / Hero's Abilities

The Hero (or AntiHero) is such for a number of particular reasons, which must be illustrated at specific stages of the Transformation / Journey.

Often the Hero has innate abilites that set him or her apart. These are often illustrated at the stage of the Ordinary World and Ordinary Self and Devolved State. For example, in Alien (1979), that Ripley is one of the sharpest is illustrated by her coming to the conclusion that they are in a different system before any of the others.

Further down the line, during the stages of the First Threshold and entry into the Road of Transformation / Trials, the Hero's Fish out of Water status must be established. This illustrates how far the Hero must evolve. For example, in The Godfather (1972), Michael is initially a Fish out of Water in Sicily.

Later still, the Hero must demonstartes his or her Transformation and the abilities that come with that. Again, in The Godfather (9172), Michael returns to pick up Kaye, is dressed in black and has absorbed his father's ideology enough to convince and deceive Kaye.
